I'm Babak Kamgar

About Babak

Well, sometimes life makes it difficult so you maybe learn who really you are. A little after the war, I was wrapping my instrument in a piece of cloth so it's hidden and the police or military couldn't recognise the instrument, otherwise they would brake it or take it from me, just like that. In these conditions I started to learn music when I was nine. Studying music was a dream for me, playing for public, but I couldn't, it was simply impossible. In 2000 I decided to leave my family, friends and my country behind to be able to follow my dream, I ended up in the Netherlands and finally entered the conservatory, able to study and play, freely. Since 2015 I live in Madrid and I offer my unknown background to the world in a new sound, developing many intercultural projects in Europe and Asia... for the rest have a look at my website.
